2…………> Casino Boss Sheldon Adelson Dead At 87: Major GOP Supporter

.

Billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson, whose gambling and hotel businesses turned him into a major political power broker in the US and Israel, has died aged 87.

The founder of the Las Vegas Sands casino company, Mr. Adelson was known for his support of conservative causes and Israel, a significant backer of US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with his death caused by complications related to his treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, while being praised by former US president George W. Bush who said he mourned the passing of a “friend”:

“He was an American patriot, a generous benefactor of charitable causes, and a strong supporter of Israel,” Mr Bush said. “He will be missed by many – none more than his beloved family.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Mr. Adelson and his Israeli-born second wife Miriam “contributed endlessly to strengthening the Jewish people and the Jewish state”.

“He was a wonderful friend to us personally and an incredible champion of the Jewish people, the Jewish state and the alliance between Israel and America,” he said.

4…………> “Remove Trump Immediately”: US House
.
“We want no violence,” said President Trump, denying wrongdoing in his first live comments since the riot while on his way to Alamo, on the border with Mexico, to highlight work on building a wall
But back in Washington, momentum is building behind attempts to remove him from office, as the House of Representatives is asking Vice-President Mike Pence to invoke an obscure amendment to force out his boss.
A vote to impeach the president will be held on Wednesday if Pence fails to act, as expected, with Democrats charging Trump with “incitement of insurrection” over the invasion of the US Capitol

Dozens have been detained in connection with last week’s violence, which left five people dead
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is urging federal authorities to put “anybody who was inside the Capitol” building last Wednesday to be added to a national no-fly list.

“We cannot allow these same insurrectionists to get on a plane and cause more violence and more damage,” said the New York Democrat.

5…………> Trump Rejects Responsibility For Riots

.

The FBI announced that it expects armed protests in the vicinity of state capitols across the US if President Donald Trump is impeached or otherwise removed from office before his term concludes, following his condemnation the move to impeach him as “absolutely ridiculous”, and a “continuation of the greatest witch hunt” in the history of US politics by arguing that the attempts to remove him from office are causing “tremendous anger”. 

Trump added that he wants “no violence” on US streets and stated that he bears no responsibility for the angry protesters storming the Capitol building on 6 January. He suggested that his remarks had been analyzed and that “people thought” what he said at the rally preceding the incident was “totally appropriate”. POTUS did not specify who the “people” he was referring to were.
